Hello Friends, As you all know we decided to visit one orphanage (or any such home) a month (two to three visits).
We successfully visited Prema Nilayam Oldage Home in the month of January. We made two visits. Hopefully someone will go another time to give blankets and sarees before this month end. Vitarana group decided to give them Water Filter that costs around Rs. 6500 or so. What about our visit for Feb? We decided to visit Swayamkrushi (Homes for mentally retarded) for Ugadi as we couldn't make it in January. For February, shall we visit Raja Foundation? Raj is planning to go another time with a bus full of people. Raj, can you take us there? All of us will come. What say? RTI Convention is likely to be postponed for few months. So we may not have on Feb 15, 16 and 17. So how about going that weekend? Are you ready? Another home is Taruni State Home. Whenever you read any news of parents leaving days old and month old kids, police send the kids to Taruni State Home, Yousufguda. Sravan Kumar Patnaik of We Will Help You group told me about it many times. He used to send the unused food of the parties (either in his home or company). He says that there is lot that can be done there provided we are diplomatic enough. When asked what they want it seems that the inmates requested for Television. This is the news of 2005 :) Thank you. with regards, Prasanthi.
